On the landing things were interesting. I though to myself “how hard could it be to land on a certain spot?” More specifically 0 feet before and 200 feet after (Private Pilot Standards).

You’ve seen the videos with our Tecnam Twin (P2006T) which we love. However after touring the factory in Italy and seeing the care that goes into each aircraft made us love it even more.

Have you ever been cutoff in the traffic pattern? If only everyone read and followed the basic common courtesies the AIM gives us the traffic pattern might be a safer place. In this quick video I share some of those ideas that apply to “pilot controlled”... read more
